So I needed to rotate my tires this weekend which gave me the perfect opportunity to test fit my Titan rims. I am currently running 265/75/r16 BFG ATKO's with 1.5" wheel spacers. I found 4 285/65/r18 BFG ATKO's on craigslist for $50. there isn't much tread on them so i might turn around and sell them again. i also have a 265/70/r18 highway tire on my 5th titan wheel that came w/ the rim. That is the size that comes factory on titans. It's gonna get tossed when I eventually buy new tires.
It requires 6x5.5" wheel adapters to run these wheels. my adapters are 1.25' thick.
on to the pics!
Factory S wheels on 265/75/r16's. 36" to the fender
this shows how far the wheels stick out w/ the 1.5" wheel spacers and 265's
Factory Titan wheels on 285/65/r18's. 37" to the fender
Factory Titan wheels on 285/65/r18's. I jacked the body up 2" to simulate how it will look once I get my body lift installed. 39" to the fender
the front on 285's
this shows how far the wheels stick out w/ the 1.25" wheel adapters and 285's
comparison pic to show both
moar pics:
now these show the 265/70/r18's on the front and 285/65/r18's on the back. There really isn't that much of a size difference between the two. The biggest difference is due to the tread. the 265's are a highway tire and look tiny.
all in all, i really can't decide which size to go with. the 265's are WAY cheaper, but the 285's look better. Either way, the front liner will need some adjustment requiring more than the melt mod.
